Rennhlicans and Labor.

Senator Sherman is reported as
saying that the Republican party will
approach the consideration of the
rights of the American wage earners
with the most earnest desire to COM
ply with every reasonable demand.
The Republican party posing to
catch the labor vote, says the New
York Herald, is kind of political
chestnut, and whenever is occurs it is
spectacle for gods and men. 1t is
essentially the rich mems party, the
party of the aristocrats, and the party
that has uniformly played into the
hands of large corporations and dam
gerous monopolies. 1t cares about as
much for the wage-earners of this
country as a man cares for a good
Havana cigar. He lights it, and while
smoking enjoys it thoroughly, for it
contributes to his comfort, but the
cigar is not particularly benefited by
the operation. The labor vote is very
much wanted before election, and
therefore the cause of the laborers is
considered "with the most earnest
desire to comply with every reason
able demand, y but after election the
wage earners may go hang, and take
their cause with them.
There are some laborers who are
willing to be wheedled by this cant
of the aristocratic party, but many of
them have seen the little game PLAYED
SO many times that their eyes are open.
Well, we shall see what we shall
see. There are some big issues before
the country, and as this is working
mans government he has a personal
interest in them. One of these issues
is wholesome legislation in the inter
est of labor, and it seems rather odd
for the party of the capitalists come
to the front with the claim that they
are the best friends of labor and will
see that it is properly protected. "Will
you come into my parlor?' said the
spider to the fly. Elk.

victims of the fallacy. The Rev. Hugh
j. Pentecost. OF Newark, New Jersey,
is among the shepards who have run
after false gods and his congregation
have brought him up with a round
turn The course Of his degradation
has been gradual but marked. He
first got his mind unhinged by Henry
Georges theories, TO which he fell
victim, and after spreading that I'M
sound doctrine from the pulpit to the
disgust of his hearers, he descended
to the depths of politics and accepted
the nomination for Mayor ON the
Labor ticket. Not content with the
degeneration of the political arena, ne
went still lower and preached ser
mon in favor of Anarchists, showing
that he is completely lost to grace.
His congregation have determined
that, however much astray their pas
tor has gone, they win not be led
aside from the beaten path and are
now searching for an expounder of
the truth with more orthodoxy in his
composition with whom to replace him.

MICHAEL BURNS of Augusta Me-,
has resorted to an ingenious method
of testing the prohibitory law and
forcing the determination of the issue
between Federal and State statutes.
He proposes to keep his liquors stored
in custom houses in small packages,
and when he sells jug or keg to give
to the buyer an order upon the Gus
tom house for delivery of the original
package, on payment of the duty
thereon. His expectation is that the
State will not dare to interfere with
this delivery Of imported goods in
original packages from government
warehouses.

The New York Tribune tacitly adj
mits that the Republican party is
now in the minority, but consoles it
self with the hope that the new voters
who will come of age before the Pres
idential election will recruit the thin

conclusion was ever before reached
by sane mind. One of the most
significant features of the campaign
of 1884 was the large proportion of
yonng men-sons of Republican sires
who supported the Democratic ticket,
and unless all signs fail the proper
ton will be still larger next year.

THE vote for the office of Superior
Court Judge in Chicago is significant
One Of the candidates was Judge Gary,
the man who tried the Anarchists,
and pitted against him was Captain
Black, their most prominent attorney
and defender. Gary received 56,084
votes and Black 6,258. Considering
the fact that a great many disaffected
workingmen, who have at the most a
luke warm sympathy with the Anar-
chists, supported Black, the lawless
portion of Chicago would not seem to
have much strength except in a capac-
ity for loud talking.

THE power of corporations of this
country is about to receive another
illustration. Secretary Lamar has de-
cided against the Northern Pacific
railway ON the subject of its second
indemnity belt. The Northern Pacific
has protested and asks a review of
the decision. The Secretary will be
nominated to the vacancy on the
Supreme bench. His confirmation de-
ponds on the Senate in which the
road has powerful friends whose in
flucnce will be exerted against it should
he maintain his decision by which
he has incurred the resentment Of the
railroad interest of the country. A
man who has shown himself so indif-
ferent to their interests would be dan
gerous to them on the bench before
which their action frequently comes
for review He is literally between
the devil and deep water. If he decides
finally against the railroad his chances
of sitting ON the Supreme bench will
be reduced to q minimum; if he re
verses his ruling, everyone will say
he was bought up by the corporations.

at the immense power of these con
porations and that thoughtful men

A curious fact has been brought to
light in connection with the way in
which Robson g. Crane make them>
selves look so much alike in 1.-THE Two
Dromios. which they are to produce at
Harper's theatre tomorrow night, and its
publicity. it is said. is not at all to the
liking of the genial comedians, who have
kept the secret so well for some time
past. Mr. Crane, it is well known. is a
large man, weighing 100 pounds; Mr.
Robson is OF delicate build snd in failing
health, his weight being about 1870
pounds. In order to make himself as
large as Mr. Crane he has been com.
PEELED TO wear heavy paddings made Of
wool, shaped SO as to resemble Mr..
Cranes natural self. The carrying Of
so much raw and warm material through
so hard working a part as the Dromio of
Syracus was gradually reducing Mr..
Robson to skeleton, and caused him
to rebel sgaingt the inequality of the
Dromios' joint work. Some months
ago he positively insisted that
the performance of the Com
edy of Errors" should be discontinued
unless some plan could be devised BY
which the odious padding could be
dispensed with Mr.. Crane WAS equal
to the emergency. He proposed to his
partner that every alternate night he,
Robson, should wear the usual pads, and
that he, Crane, would reduce himself 10

came. And this is the way he did ii; A
